Chapter 52 The Talking Tree
Although it was a little choppy and not very clear, Mibao really heard it!
The tree is talking!
{you……}
It was an old voice.
Mibao raised his head and looked at the tree with anticipation.
What would the big tree say?
{……tasty……}
Mibao: ...?
Good, delicious?
[Uh, Mibao, what the other person means is that they think you are very kind and cute! ]
Emergency public relations for the New Year.
How can a child listen to this?
Cough cough cough!
This tree can't speak human language, so its expression is not very clear.
Mibao nodded, not quite understanding: "Is that so."
So she said to the big tree seriously, "Big tree...Uncle? Can you help me find two people?"
{tasty……}
[…Xiao Hei, take care of this.]
Xiaonian was speechless.
Is the tree okay?
Want to eat his sister?
You wish!
[Tsk, you just know how to order me around.]
Xiao Hei rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, but still threatened the big tree obediently.
[Lao Deng, if you keep beeping, I'll chop you off!]
Big Tree: “…”
[Now, promise this kid to find someone, or I'll not only chop you down, I'll also set this forest on fire!]
Big Tree: “…………”
{Who...?}
Since Xiaonian and Xiaohei had just started private chatting, Mibao did not hear Xiaohei's threat.
Hearing that Dashu was willing to help, his face suddenly lit up with joy: "Sister Chaolu and Aunt Zhao!"
Big Tree: ...?
Who is it?
I don’t know him.
[It's just a skinny old lady and a twelve-year-old girl.]
Xiao Hei thought for a moment and added: [The little girl is quite fierce.]
If you put it this way, the big tree will understand.
{OK.}
Mibao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that although Uncle Tree didn't express himself clearly, his understanding was quite good.
"Thanks!"
[Hey, Lao Deng, how long will it take for the results to come out? We can't just keep waiting here, right?]
The black cat scratched the tree trunk with its claws.
The tree shook, and leaves fell from it—the already bare branches became even barer.
{About an hour.}
"Hey, does that mean there will be results in an hour?" Mi Bao widened his eyes.
{right……}
"OK, thanks!"
After receiving Dashu's assurance, Mibao seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, and walked towards Chaoyang and the other two happily.
Halfway through the walk, Mibao stopped.
Because she finally realized that her actions just now seemed a little bit wrong...
Little Meebo froze.
It’s over, how to explain it?
"Meebo, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Mibao stopped halfway, Chaoyang walked towards Mibao with some confusion.
"Is it too cold?"
Mi Bao grabbed Mi Bao's hand and whispered, "Brother Chaoyang, was my behavior just now too strange? Will Uncle Zhu and Sister Ye Duo suspect me..."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Chaoyang touched Mibao's head. "Ye Duo and I told Uncle Zhu that you hit your head, so it's reasonable for you to behave strangely."
Mibao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."
【……】
What the hell, doesn’t this obviously mean that Mibao is sick?
"So you were just here?" Chaoyang raised his doubts appropriately.
"I am here……"
"No, don't tell me." Chaoyang suddenly realized and waved his hand. "Just keep these things in your heart."
Everyone has secrets, and he shouldn't know so many of Mibao's secrets.
Mibao was stunned for a moment.
"You're still young, and many things can't be hidden, so just don't tell anyone anything."
As Chaoyang spoke, he gently rubbed Mibao's hair, then pulled her to Zhu Dafu and Ye Duo.
It took Dashu more than an hour to find out the news, and it also took them more than an hour to go back.
Xiao Hei told Mi Bao that the information that the big tree had found out could be passed on to her through other trees, so she felt at ease and followed everyone back.
More than an hour later, everyone successfully walked back to their original place, but there was no trace of Chaolu, or even any trace of anyone other than them.
"Chaolu won't..." Ye Duo's face turned pale.
Could something have happened?
The atmosphere among the crowd was very depressed and solemn.
Mibao was also very upset, so she quietly left the crowd and started touching the tree again.
"This one didn't respond... this one didn't respond either..."
Mibao muttered to himself as he touched one tree after another.
It took a while before I found a talking tree.
{…Auntie…lives…in the Northeast…}
Mi Bao's eyes lit up: "You mean Aunt Zhao is still alive? That's great! What about Sister Zhaolu?"
{Girl…beat…run…I…don’t…know…}
"ah?"
Mibao didn't quite understand.
Sister Chaolu chased the bad uncle away?
{I don’t know where to go…it’s beyond my range.}
"You mean, Sister Chaolu is still alive, but she ran away to a very far place?"
{right……}
Although I feel a little regretful that I don’t know where Chaolu is, at least I know she is still alive.
Mi Bao breathed a sigh of relief, then ran to Chaoyang's side and pulled him for a short distance.
"Brother Chaoyang, Sister Chaolu is still alive, but she seems to have run away to a very far place. I don't know where she went." Mi Bao said seriously, "Aunt Zhao is still alive. She is in the northeast."
"You..." Chaoyang was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mibao. Then let's go find Aunt Zhao."
"Aren't you going to look for Sister Chaolu anymore?" Mi Bao looked confused.
Chaoyang thought for a few seconds: "We need to look for her too, but we don't know where she went, so let's go pick up Aunt Zhao first. Then we'll wait here for a day or two. If Chaolu doesn't come back, we'll continue on our journey."
"ah?"
Mi Bao was a little anxious: "Brother Chaoyang, are you going to abandon Sister Chaolu? That's not allowed!"
"I'm not abandoning Chaolu, but if she goes somewhere far away and can't come back for a while, we can't just wait here forever." Chaoyang explained patiently, "Besides, it would be troublesome for her to rush back - so we can continue to head to the Oasis Base. I think Chaolu understands this, and she will rush to the Oasis Base."
This must be what Chaolu meant when she asked Zhu Dafu to find her.
Because Chaolu knew that she would not be able to come back for a while, or that she would not be able to come back for the time being, so she let them go first.
Perhaps it was because of their blood relationship, although they didn't see each other very often, they had an inexplicable understanding of each other's thoughts.
"So that's how it is." Mi Bao breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, then let's go find Aunt Zhao!"
About five or six hours later, Mi Bao and his three friends found the dying Zhao Xuehua.
